Bod•ē Helps Chantell Johnson Lose 159 lbs on EWL!

 

Extreme Weight Loss fans (and fellow fashion divas) laughed, cried and cheered for contestant Chantell Johnson last night, as Chris and Heidi Powell, TV Celebrity Transformation Specialists and Vemma Bod•ē Spokespeople, helped her tackle lifelong weight problems. Chantell started the program looking unbelievably stylish at 327 pounds (no wonder her family was in denial about her weight problem!) and ended her journey looking drop-dead gorgeous at 168 pounds.** Chantell says the Vemma Bod•ē products helped her on her journey. “I am always on the go with travel, school and life! The convenience of the Bod•ē products made my life much easier.”

As a child, Chantell grew up on fast food and moved frequently, including five moves during high school alone, all of which contributed to weight gain as a child and continuing into her teenage and college years. At age 25, Chantell found herself heavier than ever and ready to make the change of a lifetime with the help of Chris and Heidi Powell.

Losing 159 lbs at age 25**

Statistics show that four out of five African American women are overweight or obese.* Very much aware of this, Chantell started her weight loss journey with a goal to defy the odds. A native of Chicago, Illinois, Chantell was a 25-year-old college senior at Truman State University during most of her journey, so she had the added pressures of balancing full-time college studies with Chris’ carb-cycling eating program and a very demanding fitness regimen. She also went through additional struggles during the year, such as getting an eviction notice just before her 90-day weigh in.

Chantell re-dedicated herself to fitness and challenged herself to achieve more. She completed a marathon on the streets of Paris, learned to eat (and cook!) healthy, and surrounded herself with positive people. “Chris and Heidi are my favorite cheerleaders,” says Chantell. “There are no words for the amount of compassion they have for others. I only hope they have awesome vacations planned as their rewards, because their tireless efforts are never done!”

New body, new graduate, new life

By the end of the 12 months with Extreme Weight Loss, Chantell graduated from college and also graduated into a whole new body, having successfully lost the weight that held her back in life for so long.**  She lost 159 pounds over the course of the year and shrunk from a size 26/28 to a size 8/10.** Chantell’s incredible success has inspired friends and family members, including motivating her mother to start exercising regularly.

Chantell’s winning story and charismatic personality have earned her a host of followers and fans. She shares weight loss tips and updates on her social media pages, encouraging others to get healthy. “At my heaviest weight, my mantra was, ‘I’ve always been big.’ I’m now looking for the age that I started believing this.” She encourages others who want to lose weight to “find the root of your weight gain and ask questions.” Chantell is an advocate of focusing on what you have accomplished each day and stays motivated by surrounding herself with positive thoughts. One of her favorite quotes is from Maya Angelou: “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

Doing cartwheels and soaring ahead

The change in Chantell is dramatic. Although she was always beautiful and confident, Chantell now pushes past limits and has a love of life that’s contagious. “I feel fearless! I am now a seeker of adventure,” Chantell says. “I will consider any challenge and tackle any feat! I now seek change and strive for excellence! I run, I do cartwheels, anything that makes the average person cringe. I love to live!”

Insanely Successful Young People

Have you heard about the young superstar Brand Partners who are leaping forward into Vemma’s Elite, leading the Company’s momentum and growth? 

So what’s their secret? How are they gaining such momentum? How do they climb so high, so fast, and with so little experience? Their product of choice is Verve! — the Insanely Healthy Energy drink. You’re gonna love this!

Let’s not kid ourselves; the poor economy has affected everyone, including young adults. Faced with skyrocketing college tuition, overwhelming student loans, and a tough and very competitive job market, Vemma provides an alternative that is taking high school and college campuses by storm. Fox News Channel reports: One in two graduates is jobless or underemployed. This means that many young adults are considering other options when it comes to employment and generating income — whether their goal is to pay off student debt, move out of their parents’ homes, quit the 9-to-5 grind, get away from waiting tables, or be their own boss. Many of them, already consumers of energy drinks, are excited about the possibility of not only enjoying an energy drink that is actually healthy, but also getting paid to share it with others.

For these young adults, Verve is a no-brainer. It’s a risk-free way to start your own business, soar ahead of your classmates, and have the opportunity to create a residual income. Thanks to superstar Vemma Brand Partners like Brad Alkazin, Alex Morton, Kailey Warren, Trevor Quinlan and Luke Wilborn, Verve now has a big and growing presence in several schools across the U.S.
Vemma Founder and CEO, BK Boreyko, commented, “Some of us who are ‘young at heart’ look at the growth that young people are having, and we think this isn’t normal. But in today’s connected society, maybe this is the new normal. Young people are connected like no generation before; and the combination of student debt, high tuition and staggering unemployment has created the perfect storm of opportunity. This business is about having conversations with people. When you utilize Vemma’s first-of-its-kind mobile technology to accelerate these conversations — that’s huge.”
Brad Alkazin, Vemma’s newest Royal Ambassador and a key leader in the Young People Revolution is leading by example by creating the ultimate balanced business with two personally enrolled Elite legs on each side of his business. New Ambassador, James DeLuca, and Presidentials, Glen and Becky Polcyn on one side and new Ambassadors this month, Luke and Shawnee Wilborn and Presidentials Jim and CJ Brogan on the other side, are moving up the ranks with Vemma and are examples of Brand Partners who help to maintain Brad’s four Elite legs. Building Elite legs enhances your overall business, proving that “when you help others be successful, you’ll be successful.” Brad continues to mentor the next generation of Vemma, ensuring future success and fanning the flames of the Young People Revolution.
Here’s what some of them had to say:

 Brad Alkazin“A lot of the young demographic is kind of stuck,” says Brad Alkazin, a 26-year-old Vemma Royal Ambassador from San Diego, CA. “What are they going to do? Start a business? Open a restaurant? That’s a big risk, a big liability. A lot of people in our age-group don’t have a lot of opportunities. With a low investment in Vemma, they get something that helps people enhance their health and creates a business. We’ve got college students graduating with a solid business going strong.”

As one of Vemma’s top earners, Brad is a role model for thousands. His steady leadership, easygoing style and fun videos invite young people everywhere to take a look at Vemma and then run with it.

“When I first started in the business, I kind of overlooked young people, thinking maybe they didn’t have the money, or they weren’t going to take it as seriously. But I’ve found many young individuals who have become great leaders. People this age are already spending money on energy drinks and on Starbucks^™. It’s a logical step to switch to something healthier that tastes great and gives them the opportunity to earn money.” Enter Verve.
Brad’s message to young adults is don’t wait until after you graduate to start building your future.
“Start your business now. Keep your goals and your dreams in front of you every day,” he says. “The future is bright, and it’s coming.”

 Alex MortonAfter being introduced to Vemma at a Phoenix Suns game, 21-year-old Alex Morton caught the vision and joined Vemma. By working with fellow Arizona State University students, he went from zero to Platinum in eight months.* Now, working with college students all around the U.S., he has reached Presidential and joined the Vemma Elite!
For Alex, Verve delivers just what most young adults are looking for.
“About 95% of my organization is with Verve,” he said in BK’s video blog Young crusader spreads the word! Alex also says that Vemma Bod•ē^TM is a big hit with this age-group.
“The lifestyle you live as a college student is fast paced. You work on little sleep because you’re always on-the-go. Before I was introduced to Verve, I probably drank two energy drinks a day even though they were unhealthy and high in sugar and caffeine. Verve is different — it’s the best pre-workout supplement you can take.”
So now that all his friends are commenting on his new black BMW, what keeps Alex going with Vemma?
“I want to help as many young people as possible become their own boss. The money is great, but it’s really not just about the money. It’s the lasting relationships you are building and really the family atmosphere you create when building Vemma. I’ve learned that if you help enough people get what they want, you get what you want.”

 Kailey WarrenSoft, sparkling sand … wide ocean waves … swaying palm trees … welcome to the office of Vemma Platinum Brand Partner, Kailey Warren. Sound too good to be true? This, friends, is the freedom of being a Vemma Brand Partner. After creating an amazing organization in Phoenix, 19-year-old Kailey Warren has just moved to Huntington Beach, CA, where she is quickly getting the word out about Vemma.
“Mostly, I’ve been spending a lot of time at the beach. I lie out all day with a can of Bod•ē Burn or Verve next to me, and people stop by and ask me about the products. I’ve lost 17 pounds with Bod•ē Burn and Rest** — and I’m signing up people at the beach!”
Being a Vemma Brand Partner is a perfect fit for this friendly, outgoing college student who is majoring in Health at Orange Coast College; and she’s got the leadership skills to make it happen for others, too.
“Lots of people think of this as short-term, but I show them where they can be a few years down the road. I talk about Alex Morton and Brad Alkazin — about the lifestyle they lead. That really motivates people and sets them ON FIRE!”
Since joining Vemma in October, Kailey has created a steady income with her Vemma business.* She reached Platinum a few months ago and is already picking out her BMW to drive to the beach every day — or, that is to say, to her office.

 Trevor QuinlanSo how do you go from Diamond to Star Executive ultrafast? Ask Trevor Quinlan, a 24-year-old from Vista, CA. They jumped up four ranks in just three months, and the steady stream of income allowed his wife, Christina, to quit her job in retail.*
“We were able to get her out of a tough industry where she had no time for family and was working every weekend and holiday. With Vemma, we’ve really seen a change in lifestyle.”*
For the first few years he was with Vemma, he was primarily working with baby boomers because that’s what everyone else did. The business grew slowly at the beginning until he started reaching out to his peers.
“For the past two months, I’ve been working with students at several nearby colleges. There’s lots of driving around,” he says laughing. “But it’s worth it. Students today are concerned about how they’re going to pay off their student loans. They don’t know if they’ll be able to land a good job after graduation. Starting a business with Vemma makes sense. Build residual income. Pay off loans. Plus, they can qualify for incentives — getting a BMW and the Frenzy Bonus.”
Trevor is big on personal development, and he reads books and listens to audios every week. His motto is to work harder on yourself than anything else.
“The most important thing I tell others is to keep going. It took two years until we broke into making a real income with Vemma. Do something positive for your business every day. Once I did that, the momentum really started.”

 Luke and Shawnee WilbornVemma’s 2012 Believe Convention was the turning point for 24-year-old Vemma Brand Partner, Luke Wilborn, of San Diego, CA. After two years of seeing little or no progress in his business, Convention got him pumped; and within two months, he went Presidential and joined the Elite Club.*
“At Convention in Las Vegas, I was an Executive and my business was flat. Since then, I’ve changed my strategy, started talking to young people, quadrupled the business, and gone Star Presidential. This month, we’re hitting Ambassador — I’ve dreamed about these numbers.”
So what’s he been doing? What’s changed?
“I haven’t done a meeting with adults in two months,” he quips. Luke’s switched his focus from adults older than him to those younger. He travels to several college campuses a day, meeting with young people who enjoy the product and want to put the marketing plan to work for them.
He says young adults are energetic and quick to act. Immediately, college kids jump into Vemma and get excited about the opportunity to have bonuses coming in, thanks to popular incentives like the Frenzy Bonus.
“One kid made $1,000 in the first 72 hours after he joined Vemma,”* says Luke’s wife, Shawnee, a court reporter and Luke’s partner in the business.
For many of these young students, Vemma offers hope and prosperity and a lot of excitement about the possibilities and the future.
“Fifty percent of these students won’t get a job after graduation, and they know that. So what do they do? They start a Vemma business. Kids are now doing so well that they’re bringing their parents into the business,” says Luke. “And that’s a fine sight.”

Gary Brady’s Road to Success: In it for the long haul!

From the young age of 13, Gary Brady held a long list of jobs while quickly realizing he didn’t enjoy working for someone else. Deciding to set out on his own, he became a truck driver for more than 12 years. Then, on a day like any other; things changed when he was presented with an opportunity to join a direct sales company. Ready for a new opportunity he made the decision to go for it. Unfortunately, it nearly cost him everything.

Having been burned once before, he was slightly guarded when Ruth and Jeff Elliott introduced him to Vemma. Thankfully, he was open-minded enough to give it a chance. Gary recalls, “Ruth’s been with Vemma from the beginning. I knew she and Jeff believed in it. It felt like Vemma was something I needed to be doing.” So he quickly went to work with the goal of making enough money to save his home and improve his financial outlook.

Vemma turned out to be the right decision and a good fit for Gary. In his first 10 days of business he recruited 30 people onto his team. His philosophy has always been: “Your income will be a direct reflection of the number of people you are willing to help personally succeed.” Gary always puts others first. He focuses on his team members’ goals, instead of setting goals for himself. His own team reflects the truth of this; Gary has celebrated the promotion of 10 Gold Leaders in the past six months.

As part of Vemma’s Go for the Gold program, Gary has identified 15 Brand Partners he is excited to work with specifically to reach the rank of Gold and achieve the Go for the Gold Weekend Summit in Phoenix, Arizona. “I look at my team, find out their goals and make them my goals,” Gary says. “I’ve learned that if I help other people reach their goals, my business will take care of itself.” At the beginning of this year Gary created a simple, six-step system that’s easy to implement, and just as simple for his team to duplicate.

1. Choose teammates wisely. Identify potential Brand Partners by their desire to positively impact the lives of others through health, financial well-being, or both. Choose people you like to be around and would enjoy working with!

2. Make coaching a priority. Schedule a personal coaching session with your Brand Partners on a weekly basis, or more often if needed.

3.Support your team. Be available to help share the Vemma story through 3-way calls, one-on-one meetings, home events, etc. The venue is not important; personal connection is the key. As a leader, it is very important to be consistently accessible and dependable.

4. Stay actively involved in the business. Take an active role in all of your Brand Partners’ businesses. Continuously monitor and analyze growth. (Back Office Pro is essential for this activity.)

5. Communicate often. Conduct team calls on a weekly basis to help people stay motivated and connected, and to celebrate success.

6.Keep growing as a leader. This is the most important step, and it’s at the heart of Gary’s success. His motto is, “Your business should never outgrow you as a person.”

 Gary’s team began a monthly book club. Together, they read personal development and positive thinking books, then discuss them. He also recommends listening to 15 minutes a day of a positive or motivational audio training.

Six days a week, Gary shares Vemma with others. Each day, he has the same goal; to help change people’s lives. “I want to make sure I help as many people as I possibly can, because I know what it’s like to struggle financially,” he says.

Gary’s goal is to schedule a minimum of three one-on-one meetings, three conference calls and three home events a week. The rest of his time is spent being available for his team when they need him … except for Sundays.

On Sundays, Gary doesn’t answer the phone. After years of hard work, he is now enjoying the benefit of being his own boss. Gary enjoys time with his family, reading his Bible, working out and traveling to exotic locations. Although from a material standpoint his life looks much the same, time and financial freedom have made all the difference in the world.

Gary’s 3 tips for building a successful Vemma business:
• Follow Jim Rohn’s philosophy: “Work harder on yourself than you do on your business.”
• Don’t quit! You are only one person away from an explosion.
• Find a mentor who has achieved the success in Vemma you want to achieve, and do everything they coach you to do with all your heart. No one can teach you to achieve something he hasn’t achieved himself. Be careful where you get your advice.

Robin Phillips Shares Her Transformation Story

Watch now as we catch up with Robin Phillips, the Women’s Grand Prize Winner of the Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge!

What makes a true champion? Talk to Vemma Brand Partner Robin Phillips, who just became the Women’s Grand Prize Winner of the Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge. As a military wife, stay-at-home mom, entrepreneur and mother of three, Robin has many demands on her time, so she needed a weight loss program that would fit easily into her lifestyle. Bod•ē fit the bill. Robin accepted the challenge, lost 25 pounds, and became a weight loss champion to friends and family.** “Winning was a complete surprise. When I entered, it was because I needed a personal challenge. I’m looking forward to the cruise, though!”

Getting back to normal

Robin’s goal was simple: to get off that baby weight and get back to feeling normal. “I gained about 30 pounds after the birth of my third child,” Robin says, “and found myself just kind of grazing all day with the kids. I couldn’t find a weight loss program that really worked for me. I needed a program that made it simple, so the Bod•ē app was perfect. I didn’t have to keep track of a thing — the app did it all for me. In 12 weeks, I achieved my goal and I feel healthy and strong again, mentally and physically.** I’m ready for the next challenge!” And it’s a good thing she is, since she just found out her husband is getting re-stationed. Robin squeezed the Bod•ē Challenge in between two major moves in a 10-month time frame, which is a feat worthy of a medal in itself.

Becoming a finalist

“When I got the call telling me I was a finalist, it just felt surreal. They flew me to Vegas, and I had a gorgeous room with a gift basket waiting for me. I felt totally pampered. We couldn’t find a sitter for the kids, so my sister came with me to Vegas and my husband stayed home and watched Convention on Ustream with the kids. I’ve got a photo of them watching at home and cheering for me.” In addition to the ultimate makeover retreat Robin won in Vegas (which included a shopping spree with a personal shopper, salon and spa services, and travel), Robin also came home with $1,000 in cash and a $5,000 cruise voucher for an ultimate vacation package. “When I got home from Vegas, my husband was already researching the best vacation spots in the Caribbean,” she says, smiling.

“If I can do it, you can do it!”

With her husband on active duty, there were days Robin couldn’t get to the gym, but she found a way to work exercise in. “When kids were sick or home from school and I couldn’t get a babysitter, I’d do an exercise video at home. Even if you only have 10 minutes, you can do Chris and Heidi’s nine-minute workout from the Dr. Oz Show.” Robin had a lot of reasons why she could have given up, but she didn’t. She stuck with it and has justly earned the title of Chris Powell Bod•ē Challenge Champion. “I have a challenging lifestyle with my husband in the military and having a young family,” Robin states matter-of-factly. “We’ve moved six times in the past eight years, so change is constant, plus there are deployments. My message to people everywhere is if I can do it, you can do it.”

Weight Loss Tips from Grand Prize Winner Robin Phillips

• Once you start, be consistent from the moment you wake up to that Bod•ē Rest at night.
• Make healthy eating a family thing. Share healthy snacks and meals with the kids instead of making separate meals.
• Take those before photos! It can be intimidating, but it’s the only way to really see how much progress you’ve made.
• Fit exercise in whenever you can, even if you don’t have time for a full workout.
• Use the Bod•ē app! It makes the program so simple.
• Stay active as a family. Find something you enjoy — whether it’s swimming, hiking or biking — and do it together.
• Believe you can do it.

The Power of Consistency – YPR Star Presidential Cody Barton

Vemma Brand Partner Cody Barton of Phoenix, Arizona started his Vemma business two years ago and just went Star Presidential. Through diligent, consistent effort, Cody created an international organization of high achievers and altered the course of his life. “When I started Vemma, I was working two part-time jobs — 35 hours a week at McDonalds and then doing sign spinning on street corners for 6 hour shifts in the hot Arizona sun. Even with all that, I was barely making any money,” says Cody, who learned about Vemma through his sister. “Vemma’s changed my lifestyle completely. Not only do I have a good income, but I also have the time freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want. Nothing can match that.”*

Getting the ball rolling

“I’m just an average 19-year-old,” says Cody, who’s on track to reaching a significant income this year with Vemma.* “A lot of people ask me what the secret is. I don’t think there is any secret, but it is about work. It’s hard work sometimes, and you have to give up a lot of the partying that people our age get caught up in and learn to be consistent. You go through failures, and you keep going. You get made fun of, and you keep going. My high school teachers made fun of me every day, telling me I was going nowhere with this energy drink thing, but you have to keep focused on why you’re doing this business, celebrate your successes and just be consistent.” Cody says his age group is often stereotyped and perceived in a negative way, which fuels his desire to succeed. “No one really believes in our demographic. When you walk into stores, people don’t take you seriously — they think you’re there just to mess around. With Vemma, we’re showing people that we can make and achieve tough goals. We can be successful, and we’re doing it our way.”

Building on belief

“The biggest obstacle to starting this business as a young adult is that sometimes people don’t take you seriously,” says Cody, who was a high school senior when he joined Vemma. “Not just prospects, but other Brand Partners. It took about six months for me to find a mentor who would really show me the plan — Andrew Baer. He was great; he really supported me and helped me build my team. Until then, we were learning by trial and error. Some kids at my high school were getting sent to the principal’s office for talking about Verve in class, so that caused some problems. Other kids got all fired up and went home and talked to their parents and the parents weren’t on board with it. So for the first 4 or 5 months, we built on belief alone because we didn’t know how to build it or what we had to do to build the business. It’s a lot easier now because there’s the Frenzy Bonus, the Car Bonus, opportunity calls, and there’s a set system in place that teaches you exactly what you need to do to reach the level you want.”

Enjoying the freedom of a Vemma business

Despite the obstacles of starting the business in high school, Cody wouldn’t have it any other way. “I always knew I didn’t want to work for someone else my whole life,” Cody says. The benefits of starting a Vemma business as a teenager are pretty obvious — not many of Cody’s 19-year-old friends are cruising around in a new BMW or traveling all over the world.* “The best thing about Vemma is the time freedom,” he says. While Cody’s launched a successful Vemma career with unbeatable time freedom, most of his friends are still clocking in at minimum wage jobs and trying to figure out what to do in life. “Before I started Vemma, I didn’t travel much,” Cody says. “But in the past eighteen months, I’ve traveled to seven countries and been just about everywhere I’ve ever wanted to travel to.* It’s really enjoyable to make friends all over the world. I’ve got a large team in Norway, and I go out for meetings there. But my favorite place to visit is Texas. I’ve got some great teams in Texas. Everything’s bigger and better in Texas, right?”

Success Tips from Cody

• Work on your Vemma business every single day.
• Follow the system. Don’t reinvent it — follow your leaders and things will go quicker.
• Have a “never give up” mentality. I see so many people that could be successful in this business but they give up before they have a chance. Quitting transfers over into other aspects of your life, so don’t be a quitter. Be persistent.
• Get exercise every day. We’re Brand Partners for a health and wellness company. Represent that — live a healthy lifestyle.
• Make sure there’s a balance between Vemma and everything else that’s going on in your life.
• Stick together as a group.
• Write down your goals on paper and put them on your wall.
• Do not get comfortable. When you hit a certain rank, don’t let things slide. Celebrate the next rank, but then decide what you need to do the next month. Always have your next goal in mind and a plan to make it happen.

Last night on Extreme Weight Loss, Chris and Heidi Powell helped Trina Miller drop 20 sizes in 12 months.** The 47-year old resident of Grosse Ile, Michigan (the largest island in the Detroit River) says she has a history of stress eating. Trina says she first turned to food to deal with stress as a 12-year-old, to help her cope with her parents’ painful divorce. For years, Trina neglected her own health despite knowing the risks of obesity. “As a registered nurse and mother of three, I have always taken care of everyone else,” Trina says. “When the open casting call came to my area I took a look at my life; my children were young adults, yet I still continued to do almost everything for them. I guess I never wanted to let their world fall apart as mind had at that age. I realized that it was time to put myself first! So I said to my husband, I’m going to do this for me!”

Powell perfect support system to lose 50 percent of her weight**

Trina started her weight loss journey at 290 lbs and went through ups and downs during the year, including financial hardships, falling back into old eating habits, and briefly regaining some weight. But by the time she had her final weigh-in with Chris Powell, she had lost 50 percent of her weight, weighing in at a lean, healthy 145 lbs.** She attributes much of her success to working with the Powells. “Chris and Heidi Powell are the most amazing transformation team!” Trina says. “Chris is unbelievable, with his caring and compassionate words and his amazing ability to get me to love myself enough, to believe in myself, and realize that I am worth it. Heidi is so tough, but does it with love. In boot camp in Arizona we would go up and down this steep mountain for two hours. I would think I was done — I felt like I couldn’t take another step — and then Heidi would pop by with her encouraging, energetic, motivating words, and she would push me to go up and down that mountain a couple more times. And that is Heidi, the roar behind Chris’ gentle compassionate encouragement!”

Bod•ē for busy lifestyles

“The Bod•ē products make it so easy for such a busy lifestyle as mine,” says Trina, who works 12-hour shifts as a registered nurse. “I loved the carbonation and natural energy pick me up of the Bod•ē Burn, and used it every morning to get my workout day started! My favorite product is the Chris Powell Bod•ē Shake! I am a sweet eater and the chocolate ice cream flavor is so rich and creamy and when I blend it with ice it is like heaven in a cup! As a meal replacement, it has the perfect balance of nutrition and really tastes amazing. I also like Bod•ē Rest, an all-natural supplement that helps me restore my body after a long shift at work.* My most restful nights are the ones when I use Bod•ē Rest!”*

Strength in numbers

Alongside helping Trina eat healthy and develop a love of exercise, the Powells also encouraged Trina to shed emotional baggage during her journey. “I have buried years of emotions in all that weight I carried,” Trina says, “and Chris and Heidi helped me learn to allow myself to work through those emotions and heal myself. With each pound I shed, I became not only physically stronger, but emotionally stronger as well.”

From the start, Trina wanted to pass along what she’d learned from Chris and Heidi with others. She talked six other nurses into joining her on a 12-month weight loss program that earned them a special boot camp in Arizona with the Powells and cameo appearances on Trina’s episode. “Together, we lost 500 lbs in one year!” shares Trina.** “The Bod•ē products were so helpful for me, so I shared them with the other nurses and they loved them as well.”

Embracing a new healthy lifestyle

At Trina’s final weigh in, she was gorgeous and confident in a size 8.** “I feel amazing,” she shares. “I look in the mirror and it still takes my breath away! I have lived in elastic waist pants for over 20 years, so the most incredible thing to me about losing 145 lbs is going from a size 26/28 elastic waist pants to size 8 skinny jeans that have a zipper and a button!** And the thing is, I haven’t had a tummy tuck yet! I can’t imagine what it will be like to get rid of all this loose skin on my stomach.”

Trina has a strong commitment to living healthy and keeping the weight off. “I enjoy exercising and that is something I never thought I would say,” shares Trina. “I love the outdoors! After years of hiding and not living life I get outside now and ride my bike and jog in the park.” Trina faced unforeseen trials during the past year and is grateful she had the Powells to fall back on for support. “It’s amazing how Chris and Heidi could come into my life and produce this powerhouse of change within me that kept me fighting for a healthier me. In December, when our world at home was falling apart financially, how did they put the strength in me to keep going?” The answer, she says, is their compassion. “You cannot teach compassion; it comes from your life’s experiences and makes you who you are. Chris and Heidi have that unique compassion that truly comes from the heart. I am forever grateful to them for the gift of my health and life back.”

Konnor Dyer Joins the Platinum Club!

“I am so thankful and blessed to be part of Vemma. It honestly has changed my life in so many ways. I’m 19 years old, and like most people, I was really skeptical and instantly said no to this opportunity because I had a huge ego and a really small bank account. I thought I knew everything about everything, but now I look back and I’m so glad I took the time to check it out. Before this, I was working 20 to 30 hours bussing tables five nights a week. I hated what I was doing, but I thought that was my only option to make money, until I found Vemma. I can’t thank my leaders, Alex Morton, Brock Morton and Case Morton, enough for supporting me ever since the beginning. They have been huge mentors in my life, and I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for them. Also, I want to give a huge shout-out to my whole team and the leaders that many of you have become; a lot of your stories inspire me to work harder every single day! I love that Vemma gives people the opportunity to really take control of their own situation and make it better. This has changed my life and has taught me so many things that I would never have learned in school! Thank you, BK, for the car program and giving us young people the opportunity to go against the status quo and do something different!” – Konnor Dyer

Star Presidentials Lissa & Mark Munson: Running Their Business Poolside

“We’ve been in network marketing for 13 years,” say Vemma Star Presidential Brand Partners Lissa and Mark Munson of Scottsdale, Arizona, “but we’ve never seen anything like Vemma. We are so excited to be part of such a modern, cutting-edge company.” They work out of their beautiful home in Scottsdale, Arizona, often working outside by the pool while their kids run around. “We’ve become experts at efficiency,” says Lissa; “We’ve learned to multi task, balancing running our business with spending time with our two small children.”

Shaking things up with Vemma

 

“The second week of January, we switched over to Vemma with Anthony Powell’s team. That definitely gave our team a boost, but there was still a lot of work to do,” says Mark. “With both of us doing this full time (and no other money coming in), we had a huge motivation to replace our income as soon as possible.” Working the business full time, Lissa and Mark were able to replace their six-figure income from their old company in just over three months with Vemma.* They’ve kept up a steady pace with Vemma this summer and enjoyed traveling with their kids, aged 5 and 9. “We build this business so we can have quality time with our family,” says Lissa. “We like having the choices and the freedom to have time off together.”

Juggling parenting and a business

The perks to working from home are many: Mark and Lissa can jump in their backyard pool for a 15-minute swim between business presentations, they have time to go to the gym together, and they travel frequently with their kids (sometimes for the whole summer).* Other perks are that they set their own working hours and avoid the daycare dilemma. But with a gorgeous pool beckoning and two kids clamoring for attention, how do they say focused? “It’s not always easy running an efficient business from home with kids running around the house. A lot of people ask us how we do it. On busy days we’ll both have 15-20 appointments a day, so a lot of the day we spend walking around the house with headsets on. Our kids know that when we’re on the phone they don’t interrupt us, so that definitely helps. But the biggest thing that helps me stay focused is that I book every 30 minutes of my time in advance. I book out appointments and meetings, as well as everyday things like going to the gym, eating and showering. Scheduling keeps me focused. It’s a sacrifice, but if it was easy, everyone would be successful at this. I say, don’t let the little things hold you back. If you want to succeed, develop the discipline to become successful.”

Simple Products, Generous Bonus Plan

When Lissa and Mark first discovered this industry 13 years ago, they were struggling to make ends meet, even with graduate degrees and good jobs. “At that point, even with multiple business degrees, I was doing a lot of job hopping and we were barely paying the bills,” says Lissa. Lissa and Mark appreciate the generous payout plan Vemma offers, along with features like auto-delivery that simplify the task of keeping volume up. The Munsons love the way Vemma’s simple and powerful products are so easy to share. “It’s the first time I’ve ever felt so excited about the products that I’m running around telling everybody. And it’s so simple to run a Vemma business! In our old company, we had to set aside two hours every morning just for product training, when we taught people how to use the products. With Vemma, you don’t need to worry about this kind of training. You open the can, you drink, and there it is. Thanks to the bonuses and the generous structure, we replaced our six figure income from our old company in just over 90 days.”*

Making sizzling hot goals

“I grew up in Montana,” says Lissa, “but I don’t like the cold. In college, I did a semester in Mexico and I found out that I really love the heat. Mark and I lived in Montana for many years, while Mark was working as an accountant, but we set a goal to be successful enough with network marketing that we could move someplace warm.” Two years ago, they saw that dream realized when their network marketing income enabled Mark to quit his corporate job and move the family to Arizona.* Mark then joined Lissa full time in the business. “I’ll be working a lot from Montana this summer, helping my mom, who just went Diamond,” says Lissa. “The great thing about this business is that you can work from anywhere. We dream of going on an African safari someday, visiting friends in Malaysia and Vietnam, and going to Italy for the summer. Our Vemma business is so portable that all these things are within reach.”*
 

Mark & Lissa’s Tips for Success

 

• Lead by example.
• Schedule everything. If you have kids at home, this is especially important. We schedule our days ahead in 30-minute increments.
• Stay focused and united as a team.
• If one of you is more experienced in the business, don’t be your spouse’s mentor or try to train them. Let them reach out to other mentors. You’ll both be happier.
• Put trust in your upline. You need almost blind faith in your leaders.

Chris Powell Helps Mehrbod Get Healthy and Get Busy Living

Chris Powell Helps Mehrbod Get Healthy and Get Busy Living

 

Last night on Extreme Weight Loss, Chris and Heidi Powell helped 32-year-old Music Producer and DJ Mehrbod Mohammadi of Los Angeles, California face up to his food addiction and lose over 200 pounds.** Other than his weight issues, Mehrbod started the show with just about everything else he could want: a devoted girlfriend, a promising career in a field he loves, and strong support from friends and family. What might surprise EWL fans is that this talented guy with a partying career and a bucket-load of support nearly gave up at one point. “I fell on my face towards the end of the journey,” says Mehrbod, “so I reached out for help, and Chris and Heidi took me in with open arms. They helped me get back to my goal, and I ended the year weighing in at my goal weight of 230 pounds!** Chris and Heidi are no longer my trainers, they are a part of my family now and I love them dearly.”

Facing a food addiction and getting a plan

     As a child, Mehrbod and his family left Tehran, Iran to come to the US during the Iran-Iraq war to escape a war-torn country. From this experience, Mehrbod learned that food was scarce and you should eat whenever food was available. Eventually hitting 509 pounds, Mehrbod realized what his food addiction was doing to his health after watching a video of himself gasping for breath while sleeping. “My girlfriend video taped me sleeping and I stopped breathing in the middle of the night, then she woke me up and showed me the video. I saw myself dying and it was so scary to watch — I could not run away from it. I knew that I had a hard time getting rest and knew I might have sleep apnea, but I was always afraid of facing the truth. The next day I wrote a letter to Chris Powell asking for his help. Since I knew the chances of someone getting on Extreme Weight Loss was pretty slim, I also went to my doctor and told him I wanted a gastric bypass. He told me I had to lose 20 percent of my weight before they would qualify me for surgery. So I started on their diet and was down over 70 pounds when Chris surprised me about being on the show. So, thank God, I ended up not getting the gastric bypass and Chris helped me lose weight the healthy way.”

Learning from the best

“Aside from the weight loss, the best part of the journey was working with Chris and Heidi because I had two people that were always there when I needed them and they genuinely cared about every aspect of my life. On top of that they are full of knowledge, and who better to guide you than them? I am happy that there’s a Bod•ē app so that people who aren’t on the show, and don’t have access to Chris and Heidi like we did, can be just a click away from learning from them in the same way they guided us.”

Powering up with Chris Powell Bod•ē Shakes

“Bod•ē was an amazing part of my journey,” shares Mehrbod, who was supplied with Bod•ē products by Vemma during his 12-month journey. “I jump-started my day with Bod•ē Burn every day. Before I would leave the house it was my go-to. It gave me my protein, vitamins and it gave me that boost I needed for my morning workouts.** I also used Chris Powell Bod•ē Shakes as one of my snacks throughout the day. Not only did I love the taste, it works amazing to kill your hunger and feed your muscles.** There is no better product on the market.”

Happy times … the new Mehrbod

During his 12-month journey on Extreme Weight Loss, Mehrbod lost 204 pounds, going from a size 68 pants to a size 38.** Counting the weight Mehrbod lost in the months before going on the show, Mehrbod has lost a total of 279 pounds in less than 18 months!** “This year was an amazing year for all of us on the show and especially for me,” says Mehrbod, who attributes much of his success in the last leg of the journey to Chris and Heidi’s support. “I feel like a new person. No one recognizes me anymore — it’s the funniest thing. I walk to places and people I have known for years ask me my name.” Accustomed to being stared at because of his size, Mehrbod appreciates simple things like the confidence that comes from walking into a place looking and feeling his best. “It feels good to do all the activities that I used to want to do before and did not because of my weight, like biking, hiking, skiing, playing basketball and tennis. I missed so many things due to my weight. I feel like I have been given a new chance on life. There’s a quote that says, ‘You can get busy living or you can get busy dying.’ I was trapped and dying in my old body, and now I feel free, like I can do anything I want. So now I am getting busy living with my loved ones and doing everything I always wanted to do. Happy times!”
